I agree. Make the trade, enjoy the Explorer every day (there may not be a better watch for that), and leave it to your grandson (a
very long time from now
)
It's worth noting that I did make a trade many years ago where I gave up a vintage Speedmaster Pro to help fund the first generation Rolex GMT with a ceramic bezel, and about a year later I realized that GMT just wasn't my kind of watch, and I regretted letting my vintage Speedmaster go. These things happen, but it seems you're taking measures to think it through first.
